yunyi: x... o?...
*semiramide overture plays*
umu: so this is EXO. You guys are familiar with this group, right?
umu: so 2016 EXO, this is called "Lucky One"
yunyi: is this, am I gonna be the lucky one? kevin: maybe this will be the lucky one
shimon: you have to say it in Korean
Ben: "three, two, one!" (in Korean)
gwen: oh hel- heck yeah
ben: alright
naoki: cool beat
Ben: shouldn't he be unconscious?
fiona: okay, I'm feeling the uh - (sings)
henry: yeah, I'm feeling the synth -
davis: yeah
ben: so is he having a seizure or is he dancing?
naoki: a little bit of both, you know?
henry: I dig this- fiona: his eyes freak me out
fiona: oh my god! they are hot!
lindsey: this is like, real groovy
nozomi: this is scary
lindsey: their faces are so shiny!
davis: yeah, really
gwen: ah yes, put food dye in your IV
gwen: that sounds like a good idea
fiona: that songs makes it look fun
gwen: what is this? it's not a hospital, it's like-
gwen: really sleek murder facility
fiona: their skin is so nice! henry: listen to these harmonies - Oh!
gwen: ooh, ooh, ooh his voice
ben: they slowed down the harmonic rhythm, yeah you know?
naoki: yeah, they did
gwen: i'm super into the- it's like, like thick clavinova in the back?
gwen: or probably some synth, but yeah, sounds like it, but i'm into it
fiona: he's trapped
shimon: oh, that was weird
fiona: get it? I'm trapped
naoki: it became more upbeat
shimon: it came on an upbeat - wait, is that what you said?
ben: because he dropped out all the instruments for a bit, and then came back with everything
fiona: I feel like they could have done less on the drums
yunyi: ah, I love this - it's so catchy!
shimon: it came back on a weak beat, right? ben: well, they are singing on the offbeats
yunyi: oh! I like how it cut out for a little bit
naoki: i like how they all are in the same place, all getting treated at the same time
ben: true love <3
davis: i'm finding it interesting in the melody -
naoki: oh! and now he's in unconscious
davis: and in the background music - if you listen, it's like
davis: it's like very intentionally place to cut in and out with the melody
kevin: now this is getting better, i like this more -
lindsey: mmm davis: but it sounds really good
davis: they are blending it together very nicely
kevin: the black and white going through the planets
lindsey: what is that? ice cubes? davis: ice, i don't know.
davis: you gotta roll the dice
yunyi: yeah, that modulation, I was talking about kevin: woah. yeah.
yunyi: oh actually, it's not a modulation
kevin: it's fuzzy
yunyi: it sounded like went down like -
yunyi: in thirds and then stayed there for a little bit
yunyi: yeah, and they stayed there a little bit
umu: descending fifths? ben: Uhh, you know naoki: it was like
shimon: D2 minus 4 plus
naoki: minus five plus four
naoki: i mean you weren't honestly- ben: ohhh!
ben: ben we didn't do sequences in a long time
naoki: you're too good, you don't need to know that already
fiona: is she going to disappear?
nozomi: no
naoki: what's going on, she dead?
yunyi: the colors are so beautiful, just saying
ben: oh she's dead Naoki: oh, he killed her
naoki: cus' he's flaming , hot
yunyi: oh woah kevin: that happened
gwen: again, I told you. it's a sleek murder facility
ben: this does not look good
gwen: and instead of escaping, they are rappin'
mark: I feel like that rhythm doesn't come up in english. I think the language lends itself to that
nozomi: which part mark: that part - (sings rhythm)
Fiona: I feel like this song would be
it would be more like
funky listen to this
cool but with the music video you're like oh this is dystopian
Lindsey: I think that the fact that they're wearing all white looks real cool with the lights
and I think that was an intentional aesthetic decision but that doesn't change that it's cool
Mark: Oh I like- I like the guy dancing there
both: *laughing* Kevin: That was amazing Yunyi: That was great
Kevin: freaking 80's flashback just like the music
Gwen: Why is he.. dancing Jeremy: I actually enjoy like the
Like the backtrack but I don't like how autotuned their voices are (Don't watch Lotto then)
Ben: The thing that's too bad is that they kinda keep a lot of the same sound the whole time on this one
Umu: meaning- Ben: I feel it's a little bit more- Naoki: and there's nothing happening right now
Ben: Yeah and it feels a little bit more generic from
like I'm sure they could pump this out really quickly to fill in an album
Mark: That's a fun song for sure
the beat and the
kinda reminds me of Stevie Wonder or something
Nozomi: I just like that little part the fifths
Kevin: The percussion dropped out for one beat that's when it sounde-
Yunyi: Noo no nonono that's not what I'm talking about
They either skipped a beat or an 8 beat it sounded like. Or maybe my mind skipped a beat
Umu: It just dropped out
Yunyi: Oh ok it just did a weird subdivision Kevin: Yeah
Umu: Do you remember MAMA and how they had powers and were able to appear and disappear (I miss ot12)
or have ice or fire or something
Umu: I've never looked up a theory about this. I probably should've looked up a theory Lindsey: Yeah you probably should've Davis: Is this the prequel
(No it's a sequel)
Is this what gave them their powers before they went and
davis: it's an origin story (no it's a sequel)
Henry: This is the only song, like I said, only song that I would listen to
the harmonies are really cool
plus also the video concept was really dope
Fiona: Yeah, the video was cool it just seemed way more complex
Than before Henry: I feel like, it was really part of an actual story that I just wasn't clued in on
Also all the camera movement was really cool cuz it would like twist in
and then twist out
which is really cool
Kevin: again see when I said that I'd like to be in EXO
Yeah this is why
It's continuous to prove it
Yunyi: You would like to be in EXO?
umu: someone- someone asked kevin: remember that one Q&A
kevin: oh yeah, it wasn't before our- umu: on my app
umu: on the bts amino app, someone asked like what group kevin would want to be-
yunyi: oh exo plus kevin :P umu: part of
kevin: yess
Davis: It was another kpop
banger
this is just- it's great it's really hype
I wouldn't call it like the next greatest kpop song of all time
but I would call it something exciting and worth listening to more than once
Umu: Ok I have a question
So how can you- I know- i can tell when it's autotune when it's like
lasfhafhahf ya know
really obviously autotujned (Like Lotto)
but i could never tell that this was autotuned
Jeremy: This was like heavily autotuned (I'm trying to be nice)
Umu: What? (Same)
Gwen: It's not in every note
first of all
and
what you hear usually with autotune
what gives autotune such a bad name
is that people use it to actually change pitches in post production
so if they wanna add a riff
they'll just be like screw it, I'll add a riff
and it sounds obviously very fake, because it is
the way we could tell this was autotuned was because
you know the voice isn't consistent
when you're singing a note
you know
even with us
you can't perfectly do that
and that's just not how it works for the fact that it was
laser
and with every musical style
where a lot of it is electronic I can guarantee that there's autotune it it (Ok feeling better, just watch EXO live is the answer)
Jeremy: I can also hear it
I can hear the autotune, like a l- it wasn't bad, they did a good job with it
like I could just hear that there was autotune
Gwen: We're just you know pretentious
I mean if I was a pop singer I would definitely autotune myself
jeremy: yeah. I mean, I think all of them do
it's that style
umu: well have you heard of other EXO music by watching the channel?
nozomi: yeah, well also I knew those before I met you umu: call me baby....growl...
umu: mm hm ok
nozomi: I do like growl too, but maybe right now I just feel more this type of music
mark: I feel like the last two songs ended with everything just dropping out and singing the final words
mark: like lucky one or something else umu: oh yehayeahyeahyeha
umu: the other one was automatic
mark: yeahyeahyeah
umu: do you like that way of ending music or
mark: yeah i mean-
I don't prefer it to everything else, I just try to notice patterns
throughout
nozomi: as long as there's nothing half cadence since it's like left without being resolved mark: oh actually that bothers you more than me
mark: i'm ok with a half cadence
mark: too many resolutions these days
shimon: i feel like- you know how you were saying how it just kept repeating the same thing over and over again?
I feel like if the video wasn't there and we were just listening to the audio, there would be times where we would be bored
ben: yeah, for sure
umu: ok
ben: the thing about kpop is that their music videos are amazing
their production value is...insane and they do so well
cuz they really just had an A section and B section
which is cool?
ben: but how many times did we hear A-B-A-B
shimon: it was in ternary form (omg umu shhhhhhh)
naoki: no that's binary
shimon: well the A section came back
naoki: well B section also came back so that would make it binary
naoki: RIP
umu: ok so are you ready for monster?
umu: this is completely different- yunyi: monster?!
kevin: I AM THE MONSTER
fiona: 3 ah 2 ah one ah bAM
*shook*
henry: woah
kevin: lights
mark: woah
naoki: so many pauses it's like
mark: this is like- the music is like scandalous compared to everything else
